Portret van Johann Jacob Bauller omlijst door zes cartouches met scènes uit het leven van Christus 1660 - 1687

This 17th-century engraving by Melchior (II) Hafner depicts Johann Jacob Bauller, a prominent figure likely from the era. The portrait is framed by an elaborate cartouche containing six scenes from the life of Christ, providing visual context for Bauller's life and faith. The detailed imagery, including the figures of the apostles and biblical stories, speaks to the religious sensibilities of the time. The inscription around Bauller’s portrait includes biblical references, further reinforcing the artwork’s religious theme. This type of portrait with scenes from the Bible is an example of "devotional art" and was commonly produced in the Baroque period for private and public spaces.
